Amorin's iron-fisted military governance has been revealed: Onana leaves the team, Manchester United reshapes the new look in the locker room

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin's "iron-fisted military governance" is gaining results. His determination to clean up the "thorns" in the team now seems to be a wise move. Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana is about to join Türkiye's Trabzon Sports on loan. The controversial player at Old Trafford will also bid farewell to his career as the Red Devils.

Onana's departure marks the in-depth advancement of Amorin's "big cleaning" plan this summer. He became another star who was excluded from the team's plan after Sancho, Garnacho, Anthony and Hoylund, who left the team on loan. Left-back Maracia is also about to join Iyopsburg on loan, and this action aimed at "comprehensive rectification" is coming to an end.

The relationship between Amorin and Onana has long been rifted. According to team news, the coach believes that the hamstring injury that Onana suffered during the pre-season training camp was "the last straw that broke the camel's back". What made him particularly dissatisfied was that before returning to England, Onana actually took the risk of participating in an informal game on the muddy field in his hometown, completely ignoring his personal physical condition.

Since then, Onana quickly fell out of favor. He was first excluded from the roster against Arsenal and Fulham, and then made fatal mistakes in the League Cup defeat to low-level team Greensby. Even in the game against Burnley, the former Inter Milan main goalkeeper could only sit on the bench.

More serious, several members of the team questioned Onana's professional attitude. It was reported that he even "refuses to communicate with his coach" after being criticized during a training session. After the Cameroonian national team lost 0-3 to Cape Verde and almost missed the 2026 World Cup, his sluggish performance once again caused controversy. The club insider admitted: "I feel like he's just coming to me and has no dedication."

Under this background, Manchester United quickly signed Belgian star Senne Ramons for 18.2 million pounds on the transfer deadline, a move that undoubtedly clearly declared that the era of Onana has ended.

For Amorin, Onana's departure was a necessary "purification". He would rather hand over the main goalkeeper position to Ramons, or Altai Beindel, who is still in recovery, and experienced veteran Tom Heaton than tolerate a "spiritually free" player.

Amorin stressed that the Manchester United locker room today has rebuilt the right values. He has created a six-man leadership team composed of Bruno Fernandez, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Dalot, Heaton and Mazlawi as the "beacon" for the team to ensure discipline and solidarity.

While cleaning up multiple highly paid players may pose a challenge to the club's financial equity (PSR), Amorin firmly believes that team cohesion is far more important than short-term financial pressure.

For Onana, loan to Trabzon Sports is his last chance to get back to form. With former main goalkeeper Ugurkan Chakel transferring to Galatasaray, Onana is expected to become the No. 1 goalkeeper of the new owner and may make his debut against Fenerbahce this weekend.

Looking back on his career, Onana helped Inter Milan reach the 2023 Champions League final and won a domestic double championship. He was even hailed as a "world-class goalkeeper" by Manchester City coach Guardiola. However, his performance at Manchester United has never met expectations, and his frequent mistakes and ups and downs ultimately lost his position.

At present, the competition for Manchester United goalkeeper position will be between Beindel and new player Ramons. Byindel is expected to start in the Manchester City derby away against Manchester City this Sunday. On the other hand, Manchester City's new player Donaluma is also expected to make his debut.

Amorin completed the "comprehensive rectification" of Old Trafford in just one summer. Now, the team he expects to be a disciplined and consistent team is gradually taking shape.
